Finally a Senior

Senior Year: The Final Installment

I like to believe that senior year, like any good teenage book series, is the compelling final installment of the 12 years I have spent at GA.   In this particular case, senior year will be filled with exclusive experiences including Senior Step at the Pep Rally, Senior Strut, Prom, and senior projects.  Though the previous volumes of my story at GA have been filled with events that have encouraged me to grow and expand as a student and member of society, I definitely believe that senior year will be the most adventure-packed and fun-filled.  I must say, what I am most looking forward to as a senior will be my senior project trip to China.  As a student of Chinese, I have fallen in love with both the language and culture and have been looking forward to this opportunity since I was in the eighth grade.  China, the much anticipated climax of my story, will be the perfect bookend to my time at GA.  With the conclusion of my senior year, I will have the knowledge and experience to enter the college of my choice; finishing one series and ready to start another.
